New Website Feature: OBNM Self-Directed CE Applications
OBNM has made it increasingly difficult for CE providers to seek pre-approval for their courses. However, OBNM licensees can submit a Self-Directed CE Application for pre-approval directly through OBNM. NaturopathicCE.com now has a feature where we will create the application for you. Upon creation, our system will email you the PDF and you can simply forward the email to the board. Easy, peazy. Below are the steps on how to create an automatic Self-Directed Application through our website.
Please Note: You must purchase the course in order to access this feature. If OBNM denies your application for any reason, we will provide you a credit for a different course, even if you have already completed the course.
How to Create an OBNM Self-Directed CE Application
1. Login and go to the My Courses page.
2. Click on the “OBNM Self-Directed” tab. (Please note: in order to see this tab, you must have selected “Oregon” on your profile after selecting your profession as “Naturopathic Doctor”. To access and update your profile, click here.)
3. Click the “Create” button for the course you’d like to create a Self-Directed Application.
4. Then, confirm how you would like the hours designated for your course. And click “Create.”
5a. Please allow about 15 minutes or so and our system will automatically email you a PDF containing the self-directed application. Please verify the PDF for accuracy. After confirming, you can then forward the email to the Oregon Board for review and approval.
5b. You can also return to the “OBNM Self-Directed” tab and download the file directly from there.
6. If OBNM denies your application for any reason, we will provide you a credit for a different course, even if you have already completed the course. Simply forward us the denial letter and we will take care of the rest.
If you have any questions, please just reach out to us and let us know!
